Abstract

A shift tower housing (18) and an outer housing (13) of a vehicle transmission (12) are both formed with a bolt pattern that permits mounting of the shift tower (11) and associated shift lever (14) in both a forward control position and a center control position. Each of the shift bars (28, 29, 30) in the transmission (12) is formed with a pair of notches, a forward notch (32) and a center notch (76) for engaging the lower end (16) of the shift lever (14) in the forward control and center control positions respectively. An interlock bracket (46) is trapped and retained by a mounting plate (47) prior to the installation of a shift tower (11) and is adjustable between the center and the forward positions. The interlock bracket (46) includes a pair of arms (57) for engaging the notches (32, 76) in the shift bars (28, 29, 30) not being engaged by the shift lever (14) to prevent movement of the non-­ selected shift bars during actuation of the transmission.
